The Fork in the Road

 We should look at our lives as a maze of different paths that we can take. Do we go down a road that is easily traveled or do we choose a path that is difficult, yet the end of the road will be well worth the journey? As soon as we are able to walk we begin to make choices. Depending on how you see your future, it can be a wonderful path to take. Some of us live our lives methodically and some of us simply fly by the seat of our pants. Whatever way you choose to go, be comfortable in the decisions that you make. Show pride in your life choices. Live your life with no regrets. In the end of your life’s journey, be sure that the choices you have made make a positive difference in the world.

 The Art of Tutoring

It takes a special kind of person to tutor an individual. Dedication to the person, commitment to learning and the desire to make a positive difference is key. If we make a change for the better in the life of the student, that personal triumph is tremendous.  The satisfaction of witnessing a student in an “AH HA” moment put’s a smile in the tutor’s heart.

The desire to make a difference with each student is a key objective that we want to acquire. The purpose of our life’s goal in tutoring is to see our students expand in their own achievements. When a tutor receives a call from a student telling them that they reached their goal, a personal sense of accomplishment is reached. The art of tutoring is a passion that we know, believe, and achieve.

Helping Those in Need

There are many individual that cry out for help. They may need food, shelter,or even someone to talk to and be there for them. The key factor is that a cry for help is important. People may not take them seriously,but they should. What is the first thing that you think of when you see a homeless person? Do you avoid them? Do you give them money or food? Remember, many of them have fallen on hard times and just need a helping hand. Remember when you give from the heart, you give from the soul.

Is Counseling an Option for You?

When should you seek the services of a counselor? people feel that counseling is a sign of weakness. It actually is a sign of self-awareness and acceptance. We seek the advice of others through friends because we require a level of confirmation. Seeking a counselor can be similar, but without judgement.Focus on the peace of mind in counseling. Seek the advice of a professional. Allow your emotions to be expressed through communication. In doing this, you are showing signs that counseling is a definite option.

Priceless

Education is priceless. The amount of money paid for an education is never worth its value. Once you have earned that diploma, no one can ever take it from you. It is a priceless commodity.

A Solid Foundation

How does one develop a solid foundation of emotional security? First comes loving yourself. Have you noticed that you are always there for others but not for yourself? This you must change. Next is how you define yourself. Do you have your own identity or do you disappear behind your partner’s identity?Build on these strengths with self confidence, self esteem and self assurance. These are the building blocks of a solid emotional foundation.

We all look for acceptance from others. The willingness to be like, loved wanted. We feel that this level of acceptance will quantify our being on this earth. The love of other should not define our being. The love, acceptance should be what we search for. As the famous RuPaul says “If you cant’ love yourself, how is someone going to love you” So look in that mirror and see the beautiful person you are.

We focus so much on ourselves, but do we focus ourselves on others. If you saw an elderly woman eating out of a can of dog food, what would you do? If you saw a couple and the man was beating up his partner, would you interfere. We consider ourselves having some sort of christian beliefs but do we really have them. We should focus on being as positive as can be, treating others the way we want to be treated and looking forward to a bright future.13

When it comes to finding a new love in your life, do you jump right in the ocean or do you dip your toes in the water. Love is a give and take process. When you find that special person, What does your heart tell you that your mind should also say. Do you feel conflicts between your mind and heart? Love takes time and if you are patient, The Lord will guide you do what’s right. In the meantime take it slow and easy. If it is the right person, they will wait.

Making a positive change in your life.

What does positive change mean to you. Do you need to make a positive change in your life. Do you feel that life has consumed you. It is always important to slow down when you get to the point of having your world crash around you, and breathe. Reinventing your life may be a slow process, but it can be done. Do not underestimate the power of positive thinking. A new day means a new way to do things differently. Life is what you make it to be. You can always change things in your life and make it more positive. Life is to short for living a life that is not fulfilled. The best way to approach life is a new day is a new way….. Will you make that positive change? Remember, it is only a step away.
